The translation project was such a shitshow, you could unironically learn Japanese quicker than the time it'll take for someone else to pick this up and do it all over.

I can understand not wanting to invest time into learning an entire language just to consume low brow pop culture. that seems perfeclty sensible.
what I don't understand is when the same people invest even more time into waiting for and discussing translation projects that will never deliver anyway.

imagine if, instead of making this thread, you took an hour off to study the hiragana table.
next time you want to make a thread, you take an hour to study the katakana table.
next, say three times after that, you take an hour off to study the word order, the particles and the verb conjugations.
the next five times, you take an hour off to study the most basic/common vocabulary including the kanji (learning the radicals might take an extra one hour lesson).

by following this advice, instead of making 10 shitty threads, you would have learned basic japanese.

not retro, but play deadly premonition if you haven't. it's basically the spiritual successor. despite it's shitty graphics (by gen 7 standards) and voice overs, it's pretty good. the combat sections are also kinda shit, but they're only a marginal part of the game.

But why? Isn't the script fully translated? Someone just needs to hack the game and put it in.

It's not a robot wars/gundam/banpresto license so probably not.

That's the hardest part and many projects fail because it can be that difficult.

I started on it a few nights ago, I was enjoying it. Got to chapter 9 and was really getting into the side missions, but it froze, I lost 4 hours of progress and dropped it.

Replacing the text is doable, properly translating a text is impossible.

>properly translating a text is impossible.
Depends upon your definition of properly. There's only so much that can be done given the way language works. Which I guess is your point, but leaving things up to a translator's interpretation and calling it a day seems far less difficult than actually implementing that translation.

I'm not against people improving themselves but you seem to think waiting for someone else to do something for you is an investment of your time, which is wrong. I'm also fairly sure it's quicker to make 10 different threads than it is to learn an asian language. Thanks for your time.

>> No.5283646

>>5281180
It's because even when people think they've evolved beyond caring what other people think, they're still not there yet. They think about what will happen when people know that they invested time into learning Japanese, and how self-conscious that makes them feel. So instead of facing those fears, they do nothing.

Where do you even start with something like this?
I've considered taking a single class at my local college since they do offer Japanese classes. I've always figured that'd be one of the easier ways to learn.
